About This Book

A solitary man returns home late and experiences a disorienting inner awakening that unsettles his sense of self. After attending an evening at an artist's salon he unexpectedly escorts two young women and becomes captivated by one whose face resembles a sculptural ideal, which triggers memories and reveries. The narrative traces his altered perceptions among bohemian acquaintances, small domestic gestures, and secret acts of devotion, including an anonymously sent spring bouquet to a sick woman. Throughout, scenes explore longing, the blurring of dream and waking life, and the power of art and memory to transform ordinary moments.
